Some corrections may be needed:

If someone fixes the lyrics, I can attempt a translation.

Actually I don´t really need a literal tranlation, maybe only the description of the lila concerning the diferent rasas...

Actually, correcting the lyrics would certainly help in deciphering the myths invoked, but here is a preliminary draft -

P: Performing the tANDavam - not sure what rasa it delineates.
AP: The myth is the teaching of the nATyaSAstra to bharatamuni.
C1: shringAra (mInAKshI kalyANAm)
vIram - slaying of gajamukhAsuran (gajasamhAra mUrti) and skinning the elephant and using it as his angavastram
C2: kAruNyam - compassion - in acceding to mArkaNDEyan's call for help when yama dUtas were chasing the 16 years-old lad - it is the myth of tirukkaDavUr, where the Lord is aptly named 'amrutaghaTESar' (kAla samhAra mUrti)
C3: I think this is the story of vishNu as mOhini and Siva uniting to create harihara sutan - ayyapan
C4: kApi segment: NO CLUE
dhanyAsi segment - I think this refers to the episode of bhasmAsura
C5: bhairavi segment: Episode of consuming halAhalam and stopping it in his neck, becoming nIlakaNThan.
kEdAragauLai segment - NO CLUE, unless it refers to the feeding of sugarcane to an elephant suffering from lock-jaw ('vAi tiravAda kaLi yAnaikku karumbu UTTi')
bhauLi segment - SAnta rasam...

Thank you very much!
So far these are the episodes relating to the rasas that I figured out with your help:
Shringara- Madurai Meenakshi Kalyanam
Veeram- Slaying of Gajamukhan
Karunam- Saving Markandeya from Yama
Adbhuta- enchanted by Mohini Murti - birth of Ayappa
Bhayam- Bhasmasura trying to touch Lord Shiva´s head
Bheebatsam - drinking the poison produced during churnig of the ocean (can anybody elaborate as I don´t know which way Lord Shiva would feel disgusted?)
Shantam - in the music I have the Lord appears as Dakshinamurti.

So I just need now the episodes regarding Roudram and Hasyam. Does anybody have any ideia? (i am guessing that Roudram could be the episode of the Cupid interrupting Lord Shiva´s meditation???). Thanks !

Lji,

If you get a chance, please watch/listen to this track from this year's nATyAnjali at cidambaram - students of Srimati Padmini Ramachandran presented this as a thematic presentation - 'navarasa nAyakan':

http://www.chennaistream.com/kb/natyanjali09/#

I will try to listen to it in detail when I get a chance this weekend.

Interesting. That version is quite different... in lyrics and even more so in tune. Are there any other songs by this composer?

The lyrics might be Telugu.
I can catch only the word " kundala " in the pallavi.
